chris heff Posted March 26 Posted March 26 I’m not sure what people expect, before signing theses guys, the Bills had like 25 open roster spots. 1 Quote

thewookie1 Posted March 26 Posted March 26 My guess is Corbett is here to challenge Anderson for the LG job. If Corbett wins Anderson resumes his role of swing tackle/utility lineman. If Anderson wins the job we’d have an experienced backup guard/center giving us depth. Cushenberry feels more of a depth/camp piece. Bring him in, let him work and then likely trade him for a 6th or 7th on cut down day to a desperate team. Quote
mjt328 Posted March 26 Posted March 26 The O-Line is setup pretty good right now. Maybe we could add a veteran tackle with Ryan Van Demark gone. But any draft picks we get will be pushing someone good off the roster. Quote
ScottishBills Posted March 26 Posted March 26 7 minutes ago, Sierra Foothills said: It's just that I'm not convinced Grable's the answer. Sort of agree, largely unknown, no real track record yet. But for sure internally he seemed to be high enough rated to beat out a guy the league thinks is worth over $4m - so at least there is hope he can be something decent 1 Quote

billsfan89 Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Sherfield is a marginal WR, he's at best a camp body who is pushing for a vet PS spot. Unless he turns back time to being an ST ace he's got very little chance to make the 53 but I don't hate having an experienced hand in camp. Corbett and Cushenberry are very interesting signings. Corbett likely should be brought in to compete with Anderson at guard. Cushenberry is very interesting largely because he is such a reclamation project. He was one of the biggest free agency centers of all time when he signed a contract with the Titans in 2024 and despite not largely playing a good chunk of games. Very cheap competition and interior O-line is a good thing, Sherfield a marginal player but it doesn't hurt. Quote

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 26 Posted March 26 (edited) 2 hours ago, HappyDays said: Corbett could start at LG. That leaves WLB as the one remaining position where we don't have a starter in the building. I disagree with that. I think Nose Tackle, specifically bc we're moving to a 3-4 base at least most of the time, is a massive hole. Deone Walker is not a Nose. That's not how he plays, run stuff isn't where he's at his best. It's a waste of his talents to ask him to play that "space eater" role. And his height makes him not a good candidate anyways, even though he has the girth. We know Oliver and Sanders aren't big enough for that role. And guys like Mathis and Carter are ceiling bottom of the roster depth pieces with floor of cut after Training Camp. I agree that Weakside is a hole. But you can put Dorian Williams there if you need to. We've got good Ends with Oliver and Walker and Sanders rotating in. But I don't see so much as a Dorian Williams settlement at LB for Nose/1T on this roster. Edited March 26 by BillsFanForever19 Quote

But any draft picks we get will be pushing someone good off the roster. I think they would likely draft a tackle. I think part of letting RVD go is both a show of faith in Grable and probably looking to get in a cost controlled rookie who can be here for 4 years as opposed to RVD who was a UFA after this season had the Bills matched. I don't think they will bring in a vet tackle other than someone whose a camp body. If they didn't want to spend 4.2 million on RVD I doubt they are gonna go out and spend on that position and the impending free agency of Torrence and the age of Dawkins probably means getting someone in on a rookie deal makes sense longer term. 35 minutes ago, chris heff said: I’m not sure what people expect, before signing theses guys, the Bills had like 25 open roster spots.

Billzgobowlin Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Sounds like protection against lack of value at a position in the draft Quote

Oliver is the starting NT in Leonhard's scheme. It is not a 1990s NT. When we're in base he won't be head up on an IOL, he'll be shaded to one side in a 1v1 battle. In nickel he'll have the same job he had in McDermott's defense. We could use more depth there to replace DQ but the starting position is filled. 4 minutes ago, wppete said: I think we have our LB in Dorrian Williams. He’s a great for for this defense. I don't really believe that Williams is the plan. Maybe I'm wrong. He's never shown enough instincts to warrant a full time role. I think he'll be a more natural fit in Leonhard’s scheme but I'd be surprised if they are locking him into that job. More likely is they'll draft someone high, or failing that they'll sign a Bobby Okereke/other vet LB. 1 Quote

And the flat out misjudged deep ball in the KC Divisional game. He should have caught it. He had to dive because he broke too late getting of the WR. Yup.....this drop is the first thing that came to my mind when I saw we signed him. Ugh...... Quote
